#185OS – Omega Seed Bell

In honor of philosopher and theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a cloister designed for encounters and retreats for groups of differing faiths will be built at Arcosanti. Omega is the symbol of life’s convergence toward a graceful conclusion.

Each bell bears a unique design handcrafted by a skilled artisan. Original designs will vary greatly from displayed sample.

Patina Finish (Pictured):

The highly variable color patterns range from green to turquoise or from orange to red or with all shades mottled on the same piece.

Burnish Finish:

The bell and its bronze components are steel brushed for a lustrous finish and burnished (flame treated) with a torch in order to bring out metallic bronze highlights varying from colors of gold to iridescent shimmers of blues and greens. An acrylic spray coating completes the finish making it resistant to oxidation. The luster brilliance and subtle highlighted patterns are artistically and randomly achieved, and therefore will vary from displayed sample.
